SUPPORT CANADIAN BOOT MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bombardier-cseries-duty-1.4308590

The discriminatory punitive tariffs imposed by the Americans on Bombardiers new C Series aircraft, reinforces why we have spent the past 2 years moving away from US manufactured boots and towards boots made, designed or distributed in Canada. Please think of Canadian families and the economy when choosing your safety boots.

 

Great choices    CANADA WEST, VIBERG, MELLOWWALK, MOORBY, ROYER,

Good choices    KEEN, BLUNDSTONE, WOLVERINE

US MADE AND DISTRIBUTED     RED WINGS

 

 

 

KEEN BOOTS—-CUSTOMER EMAIL

Our philosophy is to bring you a wide selection of the best premium CSA boots available on the market ( particularly,  Canadian made and distributed).

Today we received this wonder customer email We get many such emails, but I think this stands out and we want to share it

 

Morning Scott,

Just want to drop you a note to Thank You for helping out with my recent purchase of work boots from you.

I have been a Red Wing customer for 40 plus years, and after my visit at your store and your help listening to my needs, the KEEN boots I purchased are wonderful.

With my old feet now, I have had no issues with the break in, width pinching, and  numbness.

I have been wearing them every day at work since I bought them without any pain or soreness whatsoever.

It’s nice to have a boot company finally listen and design to the needs of men and women in the field on what comfort is.

 

Thank You for the convincing me to try KEEN, they are Great!

VIBERG BOOTS

as part of our continuing effort to source the best quality PREMIUM CSA WORK BOOTS, ( and especially ones made and distributed in Canada), we are really happy to announce that we will shortly be carrying a selection of the Viberg Stomper boots, (plus a top of the line full featured Reddhart boot) . These will be extremely high quality, yet very well priced.

Once we have these in stock in the next 4-8 weeks, we will be able to offer you a broad selection of premium footwear, with style specific to your needs and budget.

Reddhart Workwear believes “more choice” is better for all of us…..if you shop at a single brand store, they will only recommend that one boot for you—-regardless of whether its the right/best pair for you.

 

 

 

6 ways to avoid sweaty feet in your boots and shoes

6 ways to avoid getting sweaty feet

Sweating profusely can be inconvenient at the best of times, but when you’re sweating from your feet in the hot, hot weather, it gets a whole lot more stressful. Because nobody wants stinky feet to go along with their perfectly manicured toes, do they?

But as podiatrist Dina Gohil, who’s teamed up with Canespro Fungal Nail Treatment Set, explains, there’s actually good reason for your feet to sweat. “The highest concentration of sweat glands can be found in our feet,” she says. “The natural purpose of sweat glands is to provide moisture to the skin that evaporates to help cool us down. It is our body’s way of regulating our body temperature.”

So it might have a purpose, but that doesn’t mean it’s not irritating and, at times, embarrassing. So Dina has shared some easy ways to prevent a sweaty foot scenario from happening.

1. Invest in leather shoes
Granted, they’re more pricy, but your feet will thank you for it by remaining cool and dry. Dina explains leather is a “breathable and flexible material” which will be far better for your feet than “patent or plastic shoes, will not allow for much aeration and will trap the sweat within the shoe, maintaining a warmer environment for the feet.”

2. Leave some room
Are your shoes the right size? “If your shoes are too tight it can squeeze the toes together, not leaving much space for movement,” says Dina, who explains how this in turn “doesn’t allow air to pass through the toes and feet, increasing the likelihood of sweaty feet.”

3. Change up your shoes
We know you can grow attached to a pair that are the perfect balance between comfort and beauty, but give your feet a break every now and then, would you? “It’s advised to wear different pairs of shoes throughout the week to let the recently worn pair a chance to air out,” says Dina, who points out that it’ll not only stop your feet from smelling, but will also “reduce likelihood of developing fungal infections”.

4. Wear seasonal socks
Basically, there’s no point donning a pair of thick and woolies in the height of summer. Your feet will get way too warm. “Make sure the socks you are wearing are appropriate for the environment/weather/activity you are in,” says Dina, who adds: “Wearing thicker socks all year round will not aid in the reduction of sweat during warmer seasons. Change your socks daily too and ensure they are a nice breathable synthetic blend.”

5. Use foot deodorant
This doesn’t sound that glamorous, but it can make a difference in the same way it does to your pits. If you don’t have any foot deodorant casually lying around, however, (who does?) you could try using “surgical spirit on a cotton wool after your daily wash on a dry foot and in between the toes” says Dina.

6. Stay hydrated
This one’s nice and simple. “Drinking plenty of water is another great way to reduce the likelihood of sweaty feet. When your body is hydrated thoroughly, it is easier for the body to regulate body temperatures therefore less likely to sweat as much,” explains the podiatrist.
